  • Hello everyone,
    In this video, we will be exploring why in all but one of the life pods you can explore in Subnautica the flotation systems do not work at all. In fact, the life pods are sunk to the bottom of the sea floor. This is very peculiar and we will be exploring why this could have happened.
    We'll be going through 7 possibilities.
    Let me know in the comments section below what you guys think: Why Don't Other Life Pods Flotation Systems Work?
    This took me a lot of editing so I hope you guys like the video!

    From what I can tell, i think that warpers were the cause of all (most) of the dead survivors, as most of the damage inflicted on the life pods seems to be a prying force from the outside, with an exception for the life pod that was detonated due to an issue with a flare. I also think the idea that they all died from creature attacks is disproven by life pod 7, which crashed in the creepvine area. And this is a little farfetched, but i think that the warpers were able to track down the life pods so fast was due to the fact that they all sent emergency broadcasts, as we know warpers have some sort of connection to the radio, and they never teleported directly to life pod 5 as Riley never sent a distress signal

      Yes, I guess normaly they would activate a parachute (no evidence, but makes sence). As seen in the intro, they ejected VERY close to the sea floor, leaving them no time to a) activate the parachutes (reason some lifepots got damaged, including ours) b) the flotation couldnt activate in time so they sunk, or because of the parachute failing, the impact destroyed the already inflated flotation devices. So thats what I can tell yall

    or... it could just be the activation mechanism that caused it
    y'know the beacon? when you put it in the water some small latches on the side detach to form those balloon things
    i imagine that those latches simply wouldn't fall off due to them pointing downward and the velocity of the fall. i'd guess they would've been designed to eject downwards, which simply wouldn't have been made ejection possible unless it had detached sideways aswell. the latches would just stick onto the bottoms of the lifepods due to wind pressure and in that case they would never be able to inflate the flotation devices in time.

    I reailised something odd about the holes and I suspect it’s the hostile mobs but mostly the warper as the holes are damaged in the same way and the warpers have sharp claws so they might have scratched the flotation systems therefore they sunk as there is proof from the transmission “8 new biological subjects found , sharing locations. With other agent ,hunting ,killing “ plus the main character is still alive as he was presumed dead as the blackbox logs stated so the warpers also presumed him dead

    I remember that the players lifepod is dmged when it was falling, maybe when they fell, the pressure speed and crash, damaged the electronics of the lifepod like ours was, with many of its secondary systems offline until the player repaired it, its likely that electrónic failure due to the ejection from the aurora, the dmg from the QEP, Alterras lack of regard for its workers safety, the crash and hostile fauna all contribuited to the failure if the flotation systems.

      Maybe other lifepods had working floating system but the predators in the water could have demaged the floaters. Our character landed in the Safe Shallows where's nothing really that could have demage our lifepod. For example life pod 12 landed in the dangerous koosh zone with ampeels. Now you may ask: "What about lifepod 3? It landed in the creepvine forest." Well it landed on the border crossing the creepvine forest and the moutiatns. The bone sharks that live in the moutiants could have swim to the lifepod and demage it hardly

  • @monsterkicker291

    Maybe since the main protagonist was unconscious to begin with none of the hostile fauna were able to find him in the life pod, and thus didn't attack it, while the other crew members were conscious and drew attention to their life pods resulting in the flotation system to be damaged by the native lifeforms.

    Well I expect the life pods to be prepared for falling from high distances, after all the Aurora was made to go to space, so the life pods would be designed to be able to survive a fall from space to a planet floor or ocean and keep the person inside the life pod, or it would be pointless to even try to escape using a life pod. And yes, people can use a sea moth from the Aurora to get to space and maybe survive because it was capable to explore space and a ocean. Though the power won’t last long unless it has the sonar panel module hitch might be able to get power from the star or “sun,” but there might be some things like asteroids or debris from the Aurora that will hit the sea moth and destroy it. But that’s just a theory of course, well if it made sense.

  • @kashmiramakwana3649
    @kashmiramakwana3649 3 роки тому +2

    I think shrapnel from the aurora could have hit the lifepods as they were falling down, at the beginning of the game when you eject from the aurora, the panel that protects the wires falls off from what sounds like an impact from the outside, most likely from the shrapnel from the aurora, and the shrapnel didn’t hit the floatation device on ur life pod, but on others it did. This is also proven more by the Sunbeam when they arrive on the planet and try to find a way to reach u, they say, “We just picked up a MASSIVE DEBRIS field at your location,” and the fact that the debris field was massive, means that most likely as the lifepods were falling, they got hit by the shrapnel, but not Ryley because he got ejected closer to the planet’s surface compared to the other lifepods.

    Since Riley robinson is non essential system chief I think he was told to fix the floatation systems on the lifepods. He fixed a couple (lifepod 4 and 5) but then thought it was a waste of time. Then, when the ship was hit by the laser, he knew that lifepod 5 had working floatation systems so he went in it.

      Part of that doesn't make sense. Certain fauna on the planet have claws or something else meant to rip things apart. If the creature has claws, it would have to pull outward toward itself. Same thing with a reaper leviathan, which would hook around the pod and rip the opposite side open outward. None of the pods or survivors have equipment able to rip a hole in the side of the pod.
